DRAPLINE news & patch notes

Thank you for playing DRAPLINE!

It has now been one year since DRAPLINE launched in Early Access.

Far more players have picked up the game than we ever imagined when the project first began, and your impressions and feedback have continued to encourage us throughout development.

And just the other day, we finally reached the last major update before the full release!

Our original plan was to launch the full version in summer 2026.

However, in order to further enrich the game’s content, we would like to extend the Early Access period just a little longer,

and aim for a full release in fall 2026 instead.

That said, development has already entered its final stages,

and we expect to continue moving forward without greatly changing our usual pace of “one major update roughly every three months.”

So today, we would like to introduce the various new additions coming with the full release!

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

【1】New Scenario: “DRAGON’S DISCIPLINE”

A new scenario will be added after “DAYS OF TORNADO,” in which you face the fate surrounding the Divine Dragon:

“DRAGON’S DISCIPLINE”!

The text for this scenario, which will add over roughly 60,000 characters, is already mostly complete. It will depict the story surrounding the Divine Dragon and the Dragon-Sealing Sword, new sides of the Calamity Dragons, and the conclusion to everything.

If you meet plenty of Calamity Dragons now and unlock at least one “Fragment of Space-Time,” you may be able to play “DRAGON’S DISCIPLINE” more smoothly once the scenario is added.

【2】25 New Endings

Upon clearing “DRAGON’S DISCIPLINE,” 25 endings will be unlocked all at once!

Each ending will also have its own dedicated illustration!

【3】Soundtrack Release

The soundtrack will be released alongside the full version!

In addition to the 23 tracks currently implemented in the game, it will include every new track added in “DRAGON’S DISCIPLINE.”

【4】Translation Polish

We will be working with a translation company to polish the English and Simplified Chinese translations and make them even better!

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Additionally, the price will increase slightly alongside the full release due to the increase in game content.

If you have not purchased the game yet but are interested, we recommend picking it up early!

（Players who already own the Early Access version will, as always, receive the update for free.）

We will continue development toward the full release in fall 2026.

Once the release date gets closer, we will announce the specific launch date. Thank you for your continued support!

Updated to Ver.0.9.2.

• Fixed an issue where, under certain conditions, unintended ingredient effect descriptions would display as "????"

• Fixed an issue where, under certain conditions, battles would start with the turn counter displaying Turn 2

• Fixed the behavior of "Charge Lance"

• Adjusted the settings save process to improve stability in certain environments

• Fixed the 60 FPS limit implementation and added an option to toggle it ON/OFF from SETTINGS

  If the game runs unstably on your system, please set the 60 FPS limit to Off

• Fixed various other text and bugs

Updated to Ver.0.9.1.

• Fixed some display errors

• Changed so that Breaths referencing low stats are no longer selected when Breath changes

• Limited the game’s maximum FPS to 60 on high refresh rate monitor environments

  This should not affect visual effects and should improve overall game stability but please report it if the game becomes excessively unstable

Updated to Ver.0.9.0.

Thank you for waiting. The game has been updated to Ver.0.9.0.

This update mainly adds two new Calamity Dragons, and it will be the final major update before the full release!

• Added a new first boss, Melty the Calamity Dragon

  (Appears randomly like other Calamity Dragons)

• Added a new second boss, Fracta the Calamity Dragon

  (Appears randomly like other Calamity Dragons)

• Added several Artifacts:

  "Hammer" "Extra Sweet Sauce" "Magic Wand" "Charge Lance" "Miracle Cup" "Lucky Stone"

• Increased the effects of certain Skills:

  "Dragon Callus" "Revenge" "Afterimage Armor"

• Increased the effects of certain Artifacts:

  "Fluffy Pants" "Silky Pants" "Dangerous Syringe" "Gem Polisher" "Shield Booster" "Nutrient Solution"

• Added a "CONTINUE" command to the title screen that automatically loads the latest save data

• Added difficulty labels such as "HARD" and "EXPERT" for difficulty levels 2 and above

• Reduced the amount of AGI gained by enemies on difficulty Lv.2 and above

  Adjusted so that even on higher difficulties, proper training can provide more opportunities to act before enemies

• Added random events

• Added "Default Teaching Phrases" to the Scenario Select screen

  After clearing "DAYS OF TORNADO," you can change the default text used when teaching phrases such as "Morning Greeting" if no custom text is entered

• Changed so that the requirements for villager affinity events are displayed when selecting actions in the village

• Changed the reward condition for Wonderful Voucher from "every 5000G worth sold" to "every 2500G worth sold" when selling items to the Buyback Division

• Changed so that meeting the Buyback Division grants a Reward Candy (Stamina +10)

• Added Steam achievements

• Polished parts of the UI

• Changed so that Sea Beast and Meteor events no longer occur on the same day as visits from the Buyback Division

• Fixed an issue where the effect value of "Dragon Callus" was incorrect when receiving two or more consecutive attacks

• Fixed various other text and bugs

Calamity Dragon Melty will randomly appear as one of the first bosses, while Calamity Dragon Fracta will randomly appear as one of the second bosses. Of course, the “Fragments of Space-Time” have also been implemented, so if you want to fight them specifically, you may want to set the loop bonuses “Freely Select First Boss” or “Freely Select Second Boss.”

As mentioned at the beginning, Ver.0.9.0 will be the final major update before the full release. We have been releasing major updates roughly once every three months so far, which means the next major update will finally be Ver.1.0.0.

Of course, we will continue to release smaller updates as usual, so no need to worry!

Also, the end of June will mark one year since the start of Early Access. We plan to publish a Steam News post at a later date with an updated schedule leading up to the full release, as well as details on the new scenario and endings that will be added with the full release.

We hope you look forward to that as well!

• Adjusted enemy "Commander" behavior

• Fixed various other text and bugs

We are currently focusing on adding new story content for the full release.

DRAPLINE has received around three major updates so far, and the upcoming Ver.0.9.0 update planned for next month will likely be the final major update before the full release.

Ver.0.9.0 is planned to include additions such as new Calamity Dragons and challenge bosses, offering players another chance to enjoy DRAPLINE’s core gameplay experience before the full release. We hope you’ll continue to support the game!

Updated to Ver.0.8.2.

• Added several Skills：

  "Limiter Release" "Primal Voice" "Martial Arts" "Brute Force" "Arcane Calculation" "Applied Technique" "Dragon Engine" "Hidden Thorns"

• Added effects when passive skills that activate on ignoring orders trigger

Updated to Ver.0.8.0.

Thank you for your patience—Version 0.8.0 is now live!

This major update primarily introduces Affinity Events and a new Calamity Dragon.

• Added 21 affection events with villagers and 7 new CG illustrations

  (Detailed trigger conditions can be checked from "System" → "Compendium")

• Added a new third boss Calamity Dragon Dorothy

  (Appears at random just like the other Calamity Dragons)

• Added several Artifacts:

  "Rustproofing" "Nutrient Solution"

• Added several Skills:

  "Ad-lib" "Aim for the Legs" "Tactician" "Monster Bite" "Restless" "Residual Heat"

• Increased the effects of certain Skills:

  "Cell Activation" "Star Scale" "Shadow Clone" "Thunder Vortex"

• Fixed an issue where "Golden Clover" could activate even when money was not below 10000G

• Fixed an issue where battles with small calamities could rarely occur consecutively

• Fixed various other text and bugs

When an affection event occurs, you will not only be able to read episodes about the characters, but you will also gain attribute-limited skill inspirations depending on the villager (for example, Martha grants Horn-only skills, while Arches grants Claw-only skills). Choosing who to befriend will therefore affect your strategy throughout the year. It will influence the ending routes in the future.

Dorothy, the new Calamity Dragon, will appear randomly as one of the possible third bosses. Of course, the “Temporal Fragments” system has also been implemented, so if you’d like to specifically fight Dorothy, you may want to set the Meta Progression bonus “Choose 3rd Boss.”

Additionally, the demo version had been quite outdated, so it has now been updated as well.

We hope you continue to enjoy DRAPLINE!

DRAPLINE has won the “RPG Maker Award 2026 – Best Simulation Award”!

https://rpgmakerofficial.com/award2026/

RPG Maker has been a tool we’ve used for many years, and the creator’s very first game—made over a decade ago—was also a simulation-focused title developed with RPG Maker. Because of this, the award feels like a truly special and meaningful connection.

We’re incredibly honored to have our work recognized in this way. And to everyone who voted for DRAPLINE, thank you so much for your support!

To celebrate the RPG Maker Festival 2026, DRAPLINE is also available at a discounted price for a limited time.

As we continued updating the game, DRAPLINE has now reached Ver.0.7.0, and before I knew it, about half a year had already passed since the start of Early Access. Development has been challenging at times, but also incredibly enjoyable, and it honestly felt like the time flew by in an instant.

Being able to work under such circumstances is thanks to the overwhelming number of players who have shared their feedback and impressions—and who, at times, have played the game so deeply that it even surpasses the creator’s own expectations.

That said, I know many of you are curious about where the story will ultimately lead. I hope you’ll continue to look forward to our regular updates, enjoy the game through repeated runs, and wait with us for the conclusion of DRAPLINE’s story, which will be implemented alongside the full release!

We look forward to your continued feedback!

When playing "DRAPLINE" on systems capable of high refresh rates (such as gaming monitors), the game may run at unintended FPS, potentially causing issues.

After launching the game, press \ to check the "FPS" displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. If this significantly exceeds "60 FPS," please set the maximum frame rate for the game using the following steps:

※The following is an example configuration method. ※We will adjust the game in the future to allow FPS limiting from within the game itself.

Ultimately, we plan to conclude the Early Access period with the implementation of "Main Scenario 2" (working title), which will feature multiple ending branches, leading up to the official full release.

As this is a solo-developed project, further development may take some time, but we will continue to update "DRAPLINE" steadily toward its full release.

We look forward to your feedback and reviews!

Thank you all for your patience! We're excited to announce that DRAPLINE will enter Early Access on June 30, 2025 (Monday)!

The Early Access version will be priced at ¥1200, with support for English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. A special launch discount will also be available to make it even more accessible!

Now, let’s take a look at what you can expect in this Early Access version!

◆ Point 1: Play the full main scenario “DAYS OF TORNADO”!

◆ Point 2: High-difficulty mode added! Only those who train effectively and plan carefully will be able to survive this challenge. ※The main scenario offers a smooth experience for newcomers, but the high-difficulty mode that follows will be a serious test. Perfect for those who love strategic builds and optimization!

◆ Point 3: Revamped UI for smoother gameplay and deeper immersion!

◆ Point 4: New skills added—now over 150 total! Includes powerful but risky abilities that introduce new layers of strategy and freedom in build customization.

You’ll also find new boss characters and pixel art assets that go far beyond what was available in the demo.

This is where the real DRAPLINE experience begins. Your feedback during Early Access will help shape the game’s future—so we hope you’ll join us at launch!
